The October BRM magazine contains another of my "Getting Practical" contributions. This issue has been out a few weeks now, but I was a bit busy last month and forgot to post about it!
This garden diorama in 7mm scale is the subject of my longest step-by-step article yet, which covers the garden buildings, scenic setting, and a range of details.
The three Dapol laser-cut kits for the greenhouse, shed, and chicken coop, along with the ready-made tomato plants and runner bean plants, were the basis of the project. Coming up with the setting in which to use them, and selecting the detailing parts to finish the scene, was a lot of fun.
The details include chickens, chicken wire fencing, plant pots, a bench, a potting table (in the greenhouse), wheelbarrow and garden tools.
It was also fun to experiment with new scenic treatments such as card paving slabs and real soil.
